similar to: [LLVMdev] "Mapping High-Level Constructs to LLVM IR" Github URL

I'm glad you see the potential of this document. It is very important that everybody joins in and add their pennies so that the document eventually reflects the real experience of people who have actually tried and studied these things, and who are familiar with LLVM IR from using and implementing it for a long time. I sort of hope that this document will one day cover almost all LLVM IR

Hi Chris, Thanks for the supporting words! I'm pushing the document both for egoistic motives (like so many others, I'll learn a ton from this document) and for altruistic motives - the easier it is to implement a new language, the more interesting and highly well-thought out languages we will see in the future. And I see it as my purpose, as a mostly black-box user of LLVM, to enhance

Just briefly looking over the document, I really like the content. I'm now starting to see a really good "fit" for this document: a "guide for language frontend implementers" illustrating basic techniques along with a discussion of implementation decisions regarding the lowering of certain constructs. I don't think that we currently have any documentation targeted at

Hi Philip, Thanks for your great list of ideas for the document! I don't really have a scope for the document beyond: If it something that requires mapping from high-level to LLVM IR, I think it should go into the document. I started out using C++ examples because many people know C++. I am personally mostly an advocate of statically checked languages but I don't see that as a reason

I have a significant chunk of notes from my experience with garbage collector integration with LLVM that I'd be happy to contribute to this effort. The original notes live here: https://code.google.com/p/epoch-language/wiki/GarbageCollectionScheme I imagine it would be preferred if that document was formatted and edited to match the existing efforts; I'll try and start converting it over

These questions are all related to the "Mapping High-Level Constructs to LLVM IR" document: 1. What are the \01 characters that are prefixed to dllimport Windows symbols for? I have never seem them before so I am unsure if they are Clang/LLVM-specific? 2. Anybody interested in explaining the zero cost exception handling mechanism using an existing example from the Mapping document?

Thanks, you have a lot of valid points there. I have myself long ago abandoned the path of using C as a backend language due to the very factors you mention. However, as I said, the document was put together in 30 minutes. Not exactly ready for prime time :-) I do agree that all of the things you mention should be described, including Lambdas, closures, and generators, but I must admit up

Hi, documentation is always good and this is a great idea. It'll be particularly useful as a place where additional examples of constructs from non-C-family languages could be added (since most compiler tutorials inevitably focus on languages that are a lot like C/C++/Obj-C). I'd imagine you've already thought of this, but it might be something where using pseudo-LLVM-IR is of the

Hi Renato, My XU is on build 141 and there hasn't been a single problem yet. No reboots, no crashes, and as far as I have observed no core dropouts (after I did the cpu-freq trick you sent me). Perhaps I have a stable board or perhaps it is because of its revision (rev. 0.3)? I will have to move it sometime because it is somewhat noise once it begins to build. Do you know if I can plug in

I'll use a redirection to the new article then. Did you try out the .htaccess thingy we talked about on LLVM.org? It should work, without any webmaster's assistance. 2013/11/21 Sean Silva <chisophugis at gmail.com> > > > > On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 6:11 PM, Mikael Lyngvig <mikael at lyngvig.org>wrote: > >> Hi Renato, >> >> My XU is on build

Hi guys, I have begun writing on a new document, named "Mapping High-Level Constructs to LLVM IR", in which I hope to eventually explain how to map pretty much every contemporary high-level imperative and/or OOP language construct to LLVM IR. I write it for two reasons: 1. I need to know this stuff myself to be able to continue on my own language project. 2. I feel that this needs to

Hi David, I'm glad you like the idea :-) I've been busy and so far only lack about three or four things in the C++ area of features: Proper exception handling (which I need to understand myself first), closures (which I don't think I've ever used), and generators (which I always wondered how they were implemented). I think you are absolutely right - some day, this document will
